Jack Black vs The Art of Shaving: which shave gift is better?

Choose Jack Black for a one-step shave cream: Jack Black Supreme Cream Triple Cushion Shave Lather comes in a 6 oz Tube ($24) or 9.5 oz Jar ($30). Choose The Art of Shaving for a shave ritual: The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil (2 fl oz / 60 mL), $35, pairs with the The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream Tube Travel Size (2.5 oz), $20.
